In recent local news, a USA ‘diplomat’ here asked for financial ‘donations’ from businesses. He touted this as being ‘normal’ in the USA.
Yeah I can see how you might *think* lobbying is normal.
But here it is deemed by law as straight up corruption :) So fuck off.

I've uploaded "Lavender Latte" to Fur Affinity! (I've also discovered my new PDF export script is not smart enough to stop the copyright footer from appearing alone on a page by itself. I'll fix it later. Maybe.) www.furaffinity.net/view/6380...

I've been hearing this refrain lately about AI-
"Everyone uses it, some people are just honest about it."
Bullshit. I can't stop search 'summaries' popping up, but otherwise it's not something I use or want in my writing process.
Never prompted ChatGPT.
Never spent AI credits on Microsoft/Adobe.

Having now read 3 of @glynnstewart.com's Starship's Mage books, I have decided that they are reminiscent of the early Honor Harrington books, with fewer of the warts (so far anyway).
One of the avoided warts has been secondary characters who stick around and are meaningful.
